Who have been our Premier League leading goalscorers?

[ClaretTony]

In our Premier League history (seems I've forgotten football existed before 1992) a total of seven players can claim at any given time to have been our leading goal scorer in the league, not joint leading scorer as Chris Wood is now but outright leading scorer.

I would think the first and last ones are easy but can you name the seven players?

It is - Danny Ings went clear in 2015 with his 9th goal which came in the away game against Manchester United

The first one was obvious but I was amazed when I checked through that both Ings and Barnes had moved into top place with goals against them too.

With Barnes out injured, let's hope Chris Wood becomes the eighth player on the list very soon.

It would be brilliant if he did it at Old Trafford too

Well CP you got your hat trick didn't you and it was on a Sunday. just a couple of weeks delayed.
